No chance for Rory now. Too many good players ahead of him.

Only 2 shots separating the top 11. Some big names in that group so should be a brilliant day today. Hopefully good conditions so we see low scoring. 

Have a small bet on D Johnson but think there is 8/9 players in that group that could win it.

Never thought Tiger would come back from all those operations but he has proven a lot of people wrong.

From Sporting Life

The last 13 players to slip on the green jacket have all been in the top 10 after the first round, but only twice in the last 33 years has the winner of the Masters held the lead after day one, so it's a tough prospect leading from the front at Augusta.

Current Masters top 10

  • -6 Brooks Koepka, Bryson Dechambeau
  • -5 Phil Mickelson
  • -4 Dustin Johnson, Ian Poulter
  • -3 Jon Rahm, Adam Scott, Kevin Kisner, Kiradech Aphibarnrat

Usually, then, you should only look at the names above as possible winners of The Masters, but given how bunched the field is this year it could well be the year that streak is broken.

A total of 20 players are within four shots of the lead so there are still plenty in with chances, but it's Koepka who is the new 9/2 tournament favourite after his first round exploits.

Big names out of contention

Given that players outside the top 15 have about a 12 percent chance of going on to win The Masters, there are a few big names who are already up against it.

+1 Rory McIlroy (22/1) , Sergio Garcia (150/1), Patrick Reed (250/1)

The odds are for illustration purposes only as there's little chance now, even for McIlroy, to get back into it as it'd take a monumental effort to overhaul so many players over the rest of the tournament.

Rory is going to to need an excellent round today to have a chance - he will need a 67 or better.

Big Phil @48 went around in a 67 yesterday so maybe Rory has another 30 years to win this. 

He puts a lot of pressure on himself tho.

Should have put a bet on him.

The year is 2035, Rory McIlroy and Man City are still trying to win their first Masters and Champions League respectively, despite being favourite for the tournament all year for the 20th year in a row.

Did a few small e/w bets on Hoffman, Snedeker, Watson & Li and a few bob on Spieth to win in the hope that Augusta will help him turn his form around
10 places being paid so looked for a bit of value pricewise. 
Lieshman, Fleetwood & Kuchar could do well 
Some people just deserve a slap
